Atmospheric Influence of Earth's Earliest Sulfur Cycle
Abstract
Mass-independent isotopic signatures for delta(33)S, delta(34)S, and delta(36)S from sulfide and sulfate in Precambrian rocks indicate that a change occurred in the sulfur cycle between 2090 and 2450 million years ago (Ma). Before 2450 Ma, the cycle was influenced by gas-phase atmospheric reactions. These atmospheric reactions also played a role in determining the oxidation state of sulfur, implying that atmospheric oxygen partial pressures were low and that the roles of oxidative weathering and of microbial oxidation and reduction of sulfur were minimal. Atmospheric fractionation processes should be considered in the use of sulfur isotopes to study the onset and consequences of microbial fractionation processes in Earth's early history.

“The strongest constraint on Archean atmospheric composition is that the ground-level mixing ratio of O2 was <10−6 PAL (present atmospheric level) or <0.2–parts per million by volume (ppmv) O2 for air of 1 bar, indicated by the presence of sulfur isotope MIF (S-MIF) in Archean sedimentary minerals (Fig. 2A) (44, 47).”

“However, the production and preservation of non-mass-dependent sulfur isotope anomalies (NMD-S) in Archean and earliest Paleoproterozoic sedimentary rocks indicate that atmospheric pO 2 was maintained at extremely low values, likely below ∼10 -7 PAL, for most of Archean time (Farquhar et al. 2000, Pavlov & Kasting 2002, Zahnle et al. 2006) (Figure 3a).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
